英国法院对仲裁裁决的司法监督

British Court's Judicial Supervision over Arbitral Awards

英国法院对仲裁裁决的司法监督经历了严格限制到逐步放松的过程,现行的英国《1996年仲裁法》对仲裁裁决虽然可以进行程序事项和实体事项的审查,但此种审查受到了严格的限制。这种有限干预的做法顺应了法院对仲裁裁决干预弱化的国际趋势,也同时实现了公正和效率以及司法审查权与当事人意思自治原则之间的平衡。

Before the Arbitration Act 1996,the judicial supervision over arbitral awards is very strict in Britain.However,recent British judges restrain challenges to awards.Under the Arbitration Act 1996,parties can challenge the awards on basis of procedural issues and substantive issues but with many restrictions.This pattern fully respects the parties' autonomy and maintains the balance between the fair and the efficiency,which is also in accordance with the international trend that the court plays a reduced role on judicial supervision over arbitral awards.
